A Lexington woman died during the severe weather that pushed through the area earlier this week.
Ella Pernell died after a tree fell on her mobile home late Wednesday afternoon.
Dexter Howard, Holmes County coroner, said he and his deputy coroner responded to the storm-related fatality.
“A big tree fell on her mobile home,” Howard said. “The home was split in half, with the tree landing right on her.”

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
